    @Big_Al said in Companion plants, from The Old Farmer's Almanac: Have you practiced any of them in your own gardening? Nothing beyond trying to plant some flowers close to my veggies to attract bees so that pollination can occur. But after reading the article, I'd like to experiment more in the future. Coincidentally, I bought some nasturtium seeds for the first time this year but never planted them. Looks like they are companions to some of the crops I have in my garden, so I'll get those in and see what happens. Plus they are pretty. And some people like the flowers as a garnish, though my better half is not one of them.

    What an interesting thread. I feel like I've seen an upsurge in younger people knitting or crocheting in quiet times as they occur, but I like hearing about and seeing the work products in this community as well. It brings to mind the now-long-running sourdough thread. Big Al

    I saw him either his last or second to last Carnegie appearance. The big Beethoven pieces were behind him at that point, I believe the program was Mozart and Haydn.

    You will never live a job as much as those dogs love theirs.

    Initially, I confused him with Rick Beato, a different guy on YouTube who actually does have some insightful videos about music, both popular and classical. He's worth a look...has an unassuming manner but is knowledgeable and informative.

    @Piano-Dad said in So much happened in just a few days: I watched the whole thing. Zelenskyy has made an effective president in very tough times. Maybe Stewart should run for the Senate in New Jersey. Can you imagine the Senate hearings as he grills someone? A commenter on YT agrees: Watching from Australia. Why is it a comedian that provides this kind of analysis and heartfelt rage on the world stage? Where are the so called serious people? I don't watch many videos, but Stewart was definitely worth watching.

    Worked for us! We drove up to sit in a bunch of patio furniture to figure out what felt best.
